How Do I Get Good Crema?

Crema is only obtained when your espresso is brewed correctly. Start with brew temperatures between 198-208?F (92-97 ?C), ensure your beans are freshly roasted and ground and experiment with different grind and dose sizes.

Fresh Whole Coffee Beans Required:

Your Signature’s Bottomless 2-in-1 Portafilter will not work with pre-ground beans. We recommend whole coffee beans roasted within a few weeks of use and ground immediately before brewing.

#1 - Prepare the Flair

(a) Insert post into base and place drip tray onto base. (b) Take apart brew head. (c) To convert to bottomless brewing, remove spout by pulling down. Don’t tamp with spout inserted.

#2 - Prepare your Beans

(a) Grind between 12-16 grams of beans with burr grinder. (b) Affix funnel to portafilter and fill with grounds. (c) Tamp lightly. (d) Remove funnel and place portafilter on post and add screen.

#3 - Prepare the Brew Head

(a) Ensure plunger is at top of cylinder. (b) Invert cylinder in sink or bowl & fill with boiling water. Leave for 30 seconds. (c) Empty preheat water and add cylinder to portafilter on the base.

#4 - Brew with Flair

(a) Add brew water (198-208?F, 92-97 ?C). Do not underfill. (b) Affix gauge stem to the top of cylinder. (b) Lower lever. Brew time should be 35-45 seconds at 6-9 BAR if grind and dose are correct.
